The Bangkok Art and Culture Centre (BACC) is a contemporary arts centre located at 939 Rama 1 Road in Wang Mai, Pathum Wan, Bangkok, opposite MBK Center and near Siam Square. Opened in 2008, it is operated by the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre Foundation under the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. The nine-storey building hosts rotating contemporary art, design, photography and performance exhibitions, along with shops, cafes, a library and event spaces, serving as a central hub for Bangkok's art scene.

Visitors can expect a nine-storey contemporary building with a spiralling ramp and atrium, housing rotating exhibitions of contemporary art, photography, design and architecture on multiple gallery floors. The centre also contains art shops, craft and design boutiques, cafes, restaurants, a bookshop and an art library. Ground and upper floors host performances, film screenings, talks and workshops. The space is air-conditioned and centrally located with direct connection to the BTS Skytrain.

Conceived in the mid-1990s through advocacy by artists and cultural networks, the project was approved by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration. Construction began in 2000 and the centre officially opened on 29 July 2008. It was established to provide Bangkok with a central, publicly accessible contemporary art facility and is managed by the Bangkok Art and Culture Centre Foundation.

Serves as Bangkok's principal public contemporary art centre, supporting Thai and international artists through exhibitions, performances, film screenings and educational programmes, and fostering public engagement with modern art, design and culture in the city centre.
